Even for all the gold in the world, thou shalt not send thy kids to die like fools digging rat-holes”. ***** Jonas Crow (what else?) is a good-looking disillusioned undertaker, philosophising on life and death with an extremely dry sense of humour and a false sense of detachment. Happy not be liked by ordinary folks. Happy to only like them when they’re dead, to be fair. No form of life (low or not) ever gets to ride along in his hearse, except for a vulture with pleading eyes. He would mind his own business but trouble finds him first. The rich owner of a mine, Mr Cosco, asks Jonas to prepare a casket for him, the following day. A bit of an unusual request, to say the least! Especially when that rich owner swallows all his gold, out of sweet revenge. But his employees and the town expect a big share of the pie. Jonas, Rose - Cosco’s beautiful housekeeper- and Miss Lin - mysterious and sarcastic ex-saloon manageress of Asian descent - are committed to comply with the will of the deceased, shedding blood when necessary. But who really is our trio, and why are they holding each other at gun point, with angry miners and army approaching fast, ready for a kill ? ***** “The Undertaker » is the new kid in town of Western comics. Great punch lines, horses, guns, saloons, dust, dirt, sexy ladies, revenge, gold … Ralph Meyer's and Xavier Dorison's Undertaker has all the punchy qualities to become a classic while standing out from the crowd. A work of (the 9th) art.

Undertaker Jonas Crow is charged with transporting the coffin of an ex-miner become millionaire back to the mining vein that made his fortune. The funeral should have been a calm affair, but there's an unexpected turn of events: on the eve of his death, Joe Cusco swallowed all his gold, so as to carry it with him for all eternity. Unfortunately, the secret was leaked, provoking the fury of all the miners of Anoki City. They can't just leave such a fortune to be buried while they're sweating their souls away in the mining shafts! As Jonas says, "death never comes alone..."

In the same series. 5 volumes

Lin and Rose have gone their separate ways, so Jonas Crow is left alone with his hearse and Jed, his pet vulture. Winter has set in and there's plenty of work to do—plenty of bodies to bury. When a childhood friend, Sid, looks him up and offers him a dangerous job, Jonas eventually agrees to it. Time, however, changes all things, loyalties included. Sid may not be trustworthy, but he was right about one thing—Jonas is the only undertaker in the Old West crazy enough to go after a corpse in Apache territory.
